Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said corruption has been removed from India’s political dictionary under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that there is a thrust towards reforms and liberalisation without crony capitalism and harassment.

Marking a year in office of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, he launched an all-round attack on UPA government and said, “Herein lies the difference between UPA’s crony capitalism and institutional destruction and NDA’s liberalisation and anti-corruption, combined with an emphasis on both strengthening institution building and social security for the poor and vulnerable.”

“The ‘scam and scandal, corruption and retribution’ Raj is behind us,” he said in a Facebook post titled ‘The Fall of UPA’s Crony Capitalism – A Year of Reform’.
